Challenges 2 (Cineleisure Next Online Sensation 3) ; The NomNom Challenge



Hey guyssss! As you guys (some of you) know that i been shortlisted for Cineleisure Next Online Sensation 3. So i will be doing challenges. As for the challenge 2, the topic of the challenge will be "The NomNom". (Which means foods) The food that i will be blogging about is... TADA! PANCAKES from Charlie Brown Cafe. By reading this post, you guys will able to know some tips and experience that i had gain in this challenge so lets keep on reading to know about it !


The NomNom challenge allow us to get into Charlie Brown Cafe kitchen to make pancakes! So once we got into the kitchen , the first thing that the trainer said was be careful of our hand while making the pancakes as the side of the pan is very hot. (Which i was really scared that i might get burn by it T^T) It's not easy to make the shape of pancakes that the cooker required, seeing the trainer do is easy but when you do it yourself it's damn hard and your mind will be thinking "omg , how did she do it". But after all , it was fun making pancakes with my friends (Its always fun to do cooking with friends anyway HAHA, for me :3 ).

(Noelle, Me & Joan)
We are requested to take a best shot of the pancakes that my group had made. 
So we try to take a best shot by changing lots of angles , moving the plate of pancakes to somewhere with perfect lighting. 


From my point of view, making basic pancakes batter is actually quite easy, it only requires egg, flour, baking powder, white sugar, milk, a little salt & butter. Styling & presentation are important because it affects the customers appetite. When planning a meal, it is good to include a variety of colours, shapes, flavours, and textures. People usually "use" their "eyes"
to eat first, first impression is very important. If the foos is not appealing, people would lose interest in the food. For photo, it's also important as people would actually look at the menu before choosing the food that they want. Appealing dishes will cause the food to look more attractive in photo. Firstly, when taking pictures, the camera cannot be too close nor too far from the food. Secondly, the lightning cannot be too bright nor dark. Lastly, the backgrounds cannot be messy! :3
